Marv,
I am leaning toward being a root man myself..,,I have noticed in years past
that when i injected fert into my overhead water system that the center of
the vines started to get old looking and dry and die......on plants that
were not fertilized this way didn't seem to have this aging.....I was
wondering what large pumpkins grown have been foliar fed......???....brock
